COMMUNITY IN FAITH
Kehilat Ariel exists to enrich the lives of our congregants by creating meaningful and inspiring Jewish moments that resonate with individuals and families through the generations. One of our key values is Havurah/Community. To help us all to better connect, we offer a large variety of Havurot/small groups which include study, shabbat meals, hiking and even surfing! A great source of community connection is of course Shabbat.
Today we have a weekly service of Jews (orthodox to secular), as well as non-Jews, and intermarried families. Everyone is welcome no matter what background you may be from (Jew or Gentile, believer or seeker). Kehilat Ariel is a community where Jewish followers of Yeshua can enjoy their faith with their God-given heritage and non-Jews can learn more about the Jewish roots of their own faith in Yeshua.
We invite you to connect and make some new friends!

Connect to Others
The messianic synagogue offers the Jewish believer a place to not only talk about their heritage, but to continue to grow in our faith within the blessing of our Jewish heritage. Many non-Jews have also found a special fulfillment in the Messianic Synagogue since they too are grafted into “the rich root of the olive tree” of this Jewish Biblical heritage (Romans 11:17). Together we are returning to our roots through a fresh, Jewish understanding of Yeshua. There are many opportunities for our members to connect with one another through Havurot/small groups, Shabbat and Holy Day services as well as numerous mitzvah service projects in our larger community. We hope you will connect and be part of this!

Kehilat Ariel (Congregation of the Lion of God) is a synagogue of both Jews and Gentiles who believe that Yeshua (Jesus of Nazareth) is the promised Messiah of the Jewish Scriptures. We celebrate the Biblical Jewish holy days (i.e. Shabbat, Passover, etc.) as well as many of the customs from our rich Jewish heritage. For us, the Messianic Synagogue is a practical way to express the New Covenant faith within the Jewish cultural framework from where it originated. We’d love to hear from you and will be happy to answer any questions you have about our philosophy in Messianic Judaism. Fill out the form below and our staff will be in touch with you shortly. Please join us soon for one of our inspiring services!
